On the theme of, "American planners regulate the wrong things," we should have much stricter regulations on noise-proofing apartments. It's the sort of issue regulation is meant to handle: it's difficult for most consumer to assess it before making a decision, and it really impacts qualify of life.
4-plex going up a few blocks from me. Gonna see about getting a showing when it's done. If we can see 2 adjacent units at the same time I'll bring a lil Bluetooth speaker to test the acoustic performance between units.
There aren't offset studs between units, so I figure it will perform poorly.

Ask a delivery driver what they hate most.
It’s not bike lanes, it’s car traffic.
These posts lower automatically for authorized delivery and emergency vehicles, then pop back up to block random traffic. It gives logistics companies VIP access while keeping the street safe for everyone else.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.
Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.
Better choices instead of excuses.

It's difficult to give children autonomy when "outside" is deadly because of roads and cars, so they can't bike or walk anywhere under their own power, they must wait to be shuttled everywhere in a two-ton box.

The average American drives a car 48 minutes a day and spends over $1000/month to pay for it.
98% of Americans have never taken an intercity train.
68% have not ridden a bicycle once in the past year.

I’m glad FIA ha decided to cancel the race this week. The regional emergency services are probably doing the best they can (and don’t need more people in the area). I hope everyone stays safe
